The Consortium for Cancer Implementation Science (CCIS) focuses on cancer control priorities, cross-collaboration, and innovative solutions in implementation science (IS).
CCIS seeks to develop a new approach for the field to work together to address key challenges and identify and develop new areas of investigation toward advancing the implementation science agenda in cancer control.
About CCIS
The CCIS was founded in 2019 as a public effort where Cancer Moonshot investigators, as well as other researchers and practitioners, work together to address key challenges and advance the IS agenda in cancer. The objectives of CCIS are to:
- Foster communication among those engaged in IS projects across the cancer continuum.
- Identify and develop solutions to common theoretical, methodological, or empirical challenges in IS in cancer.
- Promote collaborative projects among grantees and others to fill IS gaps that would extend beyond a single study.
Each year, action groups hold an annual meeting to start or continue planning related to the development of publicly available tools and resources to move IS in cancer forward in the coming year. In 2020 and 2021, the action group topics focused on (1) community participation in IS, (2) technology and IS, (3) context and equity in IS, (4) implementation of complex/multilevel interventions, (5) policy and IS, (6) study designs in IS, (7) learning healthcare systems as natural laboratories, and (8) IS in global health.
Public Goods and Action Groups
To support the ongoing efforts of the Consortium for Cancer Implementation Science, a collection of public goods (widely available tools and resources) has been developed by the CCIS action groups to address key challenges and advance the implementation science agenda in cancer.

The application period is now CLOSED.
To support the development of publicly available tools and resources and expand the reach to individuals at organizations with limited funding in implementation science, the National Cancer Institute is accepting applications for personal service contracts from individuals who are willing to dedicate time to develop and deliver specific tools and resources that have been prioritized by the action groups.
